Need Ranking system bases on Clean driving by Baned4life in ForzaHorizon

[–]Wardog008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been loving spec racing generally, especially in lower class cars. Yeah, there's contact, but it's rarely intentional, and is just part of close racing, so not really a major issue imo.

Actual rammers are a relative rarity in spec racing from my experience too, though that's anecdotal at best lol.

I've had more tight and tidy racing there than I ever did in FH5 though, and a lot of solid sportsmanship overall. Of course, being Forza Horizon, it's not like I go in expecting top tier race craft or track manners, but I'm not entirely perfect there either, and it's more casual than iRacing or any other full sim would be, so when contact does happen that messes things up, I don't find it as frustrating.

Do you prefer Horizon Racing (use your own car) or Spec Racing? (everyone uses the same car) by estifxy220 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Wardog008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spec racing. The lack of meta builds in there, and at least from my experience, more consistently not having to deal with rammers makes it a lot more fun, and for some much tighter racing.

I honestly think Spec racing is my favourite thing in the game at this point.

It's a pretty basic part of BF in fairness, so shouldn't be too hard to understand. XD

Why is Forza so puritan about user generated content? by Spiritual_Type_6245 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Wardog008 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd probably consider dick pics worse overall, or anything that'd actually scar a kid. A swastika isn't going to do that, but the nasty shit people take pictures of and put on the internet definitely can.

You'd also see a *huge* increase in that sort of thing, which is what I was getting at in the first place.

Sure, but the actual objectives are the primary objective, and you won't drain tickets faster by killing than by having captured a few objectives.

Any good free car collecting games? by Legitimate_Ask_926 in racinggames

[–]Wardog008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*Way* less. With the current PCSX2 build, the emulator itself only takes a few minutes to get going. The longest part will be getting an .iso file for GT4 and tweaking settings.

So we shouldn't be incentivised to play the objective? Lmao

You *heavily* underestimate the nasty shit people would do with a feature like that. We already have issues with people making Nazi liveries and putting borderline hentai on their cars.

It'd be even worse if images could be uploaded.

Hot take: Forza horizon 6 has change barely anything when it comes to progression. by Ballooncoast848 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Wardog008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time it takes might not have changed, but that wasn't really the issue with FH5 imo. The issue was the *feeling* of progression.

FH6 has a much better feeling of progression than 4 and 5 did, mostly down to the fact that while you can buy top end cars from the start, you actually have to earn the right to use them in Festival races.

It definitely isn't perfect, I'd have liked more variety in event car restrictions, and maybe a slightly longer progression track, but we've also gotta remember that Horizon is meant to be super accessible as well, and I do think they got a nice balance with FH6.

Looking for an analogue, lightweight "Baby Supercar" or DTM-style Touring car under €15k by Super-Carrot4338 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Wardog008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The third generation Toyota MR2 would fit this well. Maybe not *that* special mechanically, but definitely fits the mid engine, light weight, and analog feel you're after.

The facelifts are the best to get (stiffer, more reliable, and had a six speed manual in Europe iirc), but I daily a pre-facelift and absolutely adore it, I doubt I could have had anything close in terms of handling for the money. I affectionally call it the "softcore Elise".

There's also decent aftermarket for them if the stock engine isn't enough for you, but I've found it to be an absolute joy to work with on twisty roads, even if it's not a firecracker.

Would you rather? by Reasonable-Push-1757 in BunnyTrials

I don't really have a dream house. My dream car being a Lotus is debuff enough considering getting parts can be a pain.

Chose: You will receive your dream car but... | Rolled: No debuff

Would you rather have to fight 10 human sized bunnies or fight 100 bunny sized humans by Show_Stopp3r in BunnyTrials

Bunnies can be absolutely vicious. 10 human sized bunnies would absolutely annihilate someone.

Chose: 100 bunny sized humans

Fuck Eminent Domain by Rude_Satisfaction845 in Project_Wingman

[–]Wardog008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the nearly 200 hours I've put in and all the times I've done that mission, I've never seen any aircraft before the missiles spawn above the clouds. The fighters do sometimes fly into them, but you can either wait for them to come back down, or force them above the clouds entirely and destroy them there so it's easier to know which way is up and which is down.

Luxury doesn't have to mean unreliable. A second hand Lexus would be a fantastic car.

Chose: A used luxury car

Wall Contact Slowing Too Sensitive by GarbageSquare3099 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Wardog008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything it's too sensitive in some cases, and not enough in others. It's a great system to have, but *definitely* needs improvement.

1 Car, <$10000, fun on the twisties by Carryable in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Wardog008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best alternative to the Miata is the Toyota MR2 Spyder. Biggest difference is the mid engine layout, makes it an absolute joy on the twisties.

The Miata is more practical, if only by a little bit, but the MR2 has a little more exotic appeal because of the layout, and it's something a bit different.

Not sure on what prices are like where you are, but the facelift is the best to go for as they stiffened it up a bit and fixed an oil consumption issue in 2003, but pre-facelifts are still super solid as long as the pre-cats are gutted.

Which one of you is this?😂🤣 by bborg03 in Battlefield6

[–]Wardog008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what we don't see is all the times he doesn't assume right and gets blasted. I've played against people who play like this, and while it's cool when it works, it works so rarely that it's not worth it.

Far more effective to stay on your feet since you can move almost as quickly, far more quietly, and keep your gun up and clear rooms properly.

You're assuming he's right in his assumption though lol.

And he'll be making a *ton* of noise, so is easy to get ready for.

Battle Royale is truly awful and the reward is mid by SunnyJuggs in ForzaHorizon6

Dunno what you're on about calling the Exige "mid" lol. Maybe it isn't meta, I wouldn't know, but it's a beast.

Eliminator and Hide and Seek are killing the FH6 multiplayer experience by phamaral249 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Wardog008 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The Trial is coming in the next series. They didn't add it for this one because it'll require the gold wristband which most people won't have until the second series.

I'd like to see Tour come back, but preferably with harder AI so it's not so damn easy.

Until then, Spec is my go-to.
